Rebecca

Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau.

Biography
Rebecca was the daughter of Bethuel and the sister of Laban, and in 1901 BC, the patriarch Abraham sent a servant to the Aram Naharaim to find a wife for his daughter Isaac. The servant arrived at the town, where Rebecca generously offered him water for himself and for his camels; she then invited him to her home. The servant conveyed Abraham and God's task to Rebecca and her family, and her family agreed to let the servant take Rebecca back to Isaac. They met in the Negev desert, where they married and made love. Rebecca, initially barren, was blessed by God with fertility, and she gave birth to twins: Esau and Jacob, favoring the latter. Rebecca later tricked a blind Isaac into giving Esau's birthright to Jacob, as she had Jacob bring to Isaac food that Esau usually brought him, and Jacob pretended to be Esau while asking for the inheritance. Esau was angered, and Rebecca had Jacob live in hiding until Esau's anger was tempered; Esau later realized that his Canaanite wives were doing evil against his parents, and he took Mahalath as a wife. Rebecca died at the age of 120.
